Tommi - I'm just finishing off a little video I've made for you about one of your pieces. I'll link it up on your blog and here when it's done - it was much easier to talk than to type! Might be tomorrow before it hits Youchoob!
Hi Tommi, As requested, some feedback. I think you're having some issues with making a convincingly deep environment, so here's some tips in video format:
Dear Jon, I can't beleive the time you've taken over this - thank you thank you thenk you; you see, I'm so overwhelmed I can't even spell properly.
As I was painting this a friend suggested I download sketchup so I have, but I wish I'd done so earlier! I'm still having a play, but I didn't know I could change the appearance like that: I like the sketchy look that softens the shapes a bit and also getting accurate lighting and cast shadows which is always a bugbear of mine. Even watching your demo there were a couple of angles where I could see exactly what I was going for, but with a better outcome and a couple more that I'd not even thought of: DANG IT. Really took on board the comments about the group interacting with the environment- contemplating a complete redux of this one now!
I like the subtle repetition of the snake icon from foreground to background- verra nice guv.
